There are two levels on which a device may be hotplugged: config and live. The config level requires just an insert or remove from internal domain definition structure, which is exactly what this patch does. There is currently no implementation for a chardev update action, as there's not much to be updated. But more importantly, the only thing that can be updated is path or socket address by which chardevs are distinguished. So the update action is currently not supported.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
